USCG Exam PracticeFirefighting, damage control, and emergency response
A vessel's crew member joins the crew of a vessel described under 46 CFR 175.110(c). Under 46 CFR §185.420(b)(3), when must emergency egress training be conducted for that crew member in addition to the standard quarterly schedule?
- A. Within 72 hours of joining the crew
- B. At the next scheduled quarterly drill, regardless of when the crew member joined
- ✓ Each time a crew member joins the crew of such vessel, and at least monthly thereafter while employed aboardCorrect
- D. Only upon first employment with the company, not each time the crew member joins a specific vessel
Why C is correct
46 CFR §185.420(b)(3) requires emergency egress training to occur each time a crew member joins the crew of such a vessel, and at least monthly while employed aboard. This is more frequent than the general quarterly requirement of §185.420(a) and applies specifically to vessels described by 46 CFR 175.110(c).
